openSUSE 12

Depending on the existing state of your server, you may already have most of these dependencies installed.

The guide below uses wget to download some source packages directly to your system. You could also download them to your client system and SCP or FTP them to the SSD server.

The standard openSUSE distribution does not include many common packages that you might find on other distributions of Linux. For this reason, you may see some installations below that are not specifically mentioned in the SSD requirements section.

If you plan on housing your SSD database on a separate host than the SSD application, then you can skip steps 1 and 2.

Download directly to your instance and untar and unzip as above: wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pytz/pytz-2012h.tar.gz

Unzip the file: tar -xvzf pytz-2012h.tar.gz

Install pytz: python setup.py install

In order to load Apache modules in the openSUSE provided version of Apache2, you must edit /etc/sysconfig/apache2 and append mod_wsgi to the end of the APACHE_MODULES variable. Once you restart Apache, the proper mod_wsgi entry will automatically be placed in /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf.

The default openSUSE Apache configuration is very restrictive and does not allow access to the filesystem by default. You must edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and modify the default Directory directive as follows:

<Directory />

Options FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride None

</Directory>

You are all done! Now that the dependencies are installed, head over to the installersection to run the automated SSD installer so you can start using SSD!
